Agreed, New Foundland and St. John's has been a well kept secret. Those of us who were or are in the military though, it's no secret. St. John's has and continues to be a regular stop for C-130's crossing the pond both ways. It was better in year's past. Airmen have been getting their rocks off their for decades. The weather absolutely sucks the majority of time except for in August. We've been weathered out there many times and have enjoyed the fruits of extended stays. Most of the people are of Scottish and Irish heritage there. The major industry is the oil business and fishing; however, there is a large nursing school there.
I said it was easier in years past due to the decades of Airmen rolling through. The women are wise but it's still much easier than most other places. George Street is the main attraction and it's quite busy Thu-Sat. That being said, you'll do quite well to find watering holes off of George St..
The best hotel to stay at is the Murray Premises and the Delta. Also, as a warning, the U.S.A.F. is not the only ones making stops there. The Germans and the British Air Forces are regulars there as well. So if you are wandering around and see guys with short hair cuts, they are not working on a fishing boat or in an oilfield somewhere.
The people in St. John's are extremely friendly. If you go you have to take part of a tradition there and get Screeched. Once there, just go to almost any bar and ask to be screeched and you'll be a part of the local group forever. Also, ask to have cod tongues for dinner one night.
I would say the majority of women there are in the 6-8 range. There is a good mix of blondes and brunettes and an occasional asian. The last few trips, there were even some African guys there. These Africans are everywhere. They're like the Chinese.
A good place to start off the night is by having dinner at The Keg. Many of those aforementioned nursing students work at this restaurant and it's a good place to chat up the locals during your pre-game.
I'm scheduled to go back through St. John's in about 2 months. It's going to be cold as hell and most likely snowing. It won't be difficult to find a bed warmer.
